re: #466 Salamantis

Well, so far, no salient point has been made against evolutionary theory - by anyone, anywhere.

Well, large parts of what Stephen J. Gould wrote about, “exaptations”, put him at odds with Richard Dawkins, yet somehow Gould thought he was supporting and arguing for evolution anyway. I never could figure out what Gould thought he was saying. Could you?

The thing is, finding things that evolution does not explain, does not weaken it as a theory. What would weaken it as a theory is if it predicted something that could not be observed. That hasn’t happened. Too many darned observations, if anything.

If evolution doesnt explain why I like red and you like blue that doesn’t affect the thousands of things it does explain.

So, yes, there are things that evolution fails to explain, but these are not weaknesses as such, until and unless a better theory comes along that gets right what evolution now says, plus does better on these other areas, whatever they may be.
